Numerical hydrological and hydraulic simulation of the effects of a possible flood wave as part of a risk analysis and risk management at the Suggadinbach
Abstract:The Maesstobel bears high risks due to possible rockslides in the upper reach. Such a rock slide could result in a debris jam in the receiving stream 'Suggadinbach' caused by tumbling rock and debris flows of approximately 800,000 cubic metres. According to experts, dam failure and a consecutive flood wave would follow. The flood wave would then directly hit the town of St.Gallenkirch. In response to this scenario, a project has been designed which assesses the hazard potential and the effects of a possible fl… Show more
